Bound by Vows

Chapter-66

Payal's POV

"Bhai, where were you? We are searching you everywhere. Even you're not answering your

phone...And bhabhi, Amaya bhabhi is looki-" Divi came running to us once we entered the hall.

But she stopped suddenly eyeing Papa and Nick standing beside me.

"We were just coming, Divi..." Kabir said.

"Divya, he is my father and my brother, Nikhil" i introduced my family to her.

"Your brother?" She whispered but i kind of heard that.

She is looking shocked and Nick's expression are not different from her.

Do they know eachother? I will ask later.

"Umm papa, she is Divya, Kabir's sister" i said while both came out of trance

"Do you guys know eachother?" Kabir asked immediately eyeing their expressions.

"No"

"Yes"

They both said simultaneously...

"We both used to study in the same college and met once or twice at that time..." Nick said while divi

was glaring him.

Are they having rivalry or something like that? I thought in my mind.

During the whole ceremony, i noticed divya and nikhil giving glances to eachother.

When Kunal and Amaya were exchanging rings, my mind went to my engagement(s).

First with that bastard where i tricked him by injuring myself. And second with Kabir, only if we were

real partners...i would had enjoyed it.

"Thinking about ours?" Kabir asked holding my waist.

"Yeah...I remember how many glares you're giving me that day" i said rolling my eyes.

His fingers started drumming on my waist as if i am some instrument.

I looked around to check if anyone has noticed our position. But everyone were busy in their own.

I hid his hand adjusting my dupatta. It's not like we are doing any robbery, i just feel shy.

"Did i? I don't remember giving you any glare?" He whisper asked in my ears.

I looked towards his side only to see him giving me playful looks.

"Only if i had a recording of that time, i would have showed you how mean, rude and arrogant person

you are, Mr. Khurana" i said in annoyance.

His fingers started moving upward and i feel ticklish.

"Kabir, you better control your fingers. We are in public." I hushed him.

"That means i can do it in our bedroom. That’s sound much pleasing to me. And i hope, you remember

that you have to complete the task tonight" he reminded me again about that so called lap dance.

"You're not getting any..." I denied him.

"That's soo mean of you..." He whined.

I raised my eyebrows at him...like really.

"Was not my words pleasing to you minute back?" I retorted back to him.

"You're such a mood spoiler..." He said taking his hands away from my waist.

Like seriously??? Was he making a mood in freaking public place, that too in his own brother's

engagement.

I left his side and went to Amu's side to say congrats.

"Congratulations to my baby sister and my coolest brother..."i congrats both of them giving a tight hug...

"Thank you" they both said.

"Umm...Kunal, i won't say those cliche dialogues that keep my sister happy and all, because i know you Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

will. But i will tell you one thing that i promised someone to not let her shed a tear and i expect that you

will fulfil my given promise." I said what i wanted to.

Amaya looked me with a happy yet sad face knowing fully whom i am referring.

"Yes bhabhi, i promise you i will never let you or Avi bhaiya down at any point of time" he said with an

understanding look.

"Thank you" i said with gratitude.

I am now relieved as Amaya is in good hands. Moreover, she will be living with me for rest of the life.

Whole evening went smoothly without much chaos.

I didn't get the time to talk with Kabir for even a minute. As we were busy attending the guests, looking

for arrangements.

And by the end of the ceremony, i was waiting for the day to end as i was hell tired and my feet were

aching badly due to heels.

It was decided that ma and Amu will stay with us for the night as it was already very late. And every

one already left for home leaving me and Kabir as he was busy in settling down the issues related to

catering.

Kabir told me to wait in the car as he will be coming in ten minutes. So, i leisurely sat on the seat after

removing my heels and soothing my pain by giving pressure on my foot.

Ahh!!! It is relaxing...After five minutes, i sanitized my hand and leaned on the seat by giving my back a

rest.

It was a great night. Function went well, everyone was happy and moreover, i got my father back. I still

cannot believe, papa started talking with me again. Differences which we are unable to sort in last 4

year are sorted by Kabir in just few minutes.

I cannot be more grateful to him. Since the time he came in my life, i am reliving my life.

My old life which was abandon by me after losing Avi, is coming back on track.

But i still regret that i am breaking the promise i did with myself. I never wanted to live again. I never

wanted to love someone in my life. I pledged myself to always live as the wife of my deceased

husband.

But here i am ready to start my life with Kabir because eventually i fall in love with him. Am i not being

selfish again?

But then, i remember the last words of Avi...

"Be happy and don't mourn over me" he said with difficulty...

"No Avi, don’t say like this" i said crying profusely.

"Take care of Mom and Amaya after me..." He said with heavy breathing.

"You're not going anywhere. Stop saying like this" i said holding his hands tightly.

"Hey you ok?" Someone's voice brought me out of past.

I saw Kabir looking me with concerned face.

I cleared my throat to clear the memories.

"Yeah...i am just a bit tired" i said averting my eyes as i don't want to lie and also can't say what i was

thinking, atleast not now...

"Umm...lets go..." He said adjusting the seatbelt and started the car.

"Wake me up once we reached the home" i said and he nodded his head.

I closed my eyes and soon past flooded back to me...

Doctors are preparing for the immediate surgery he needs to undergo...

"I...i may not come out of this...Promise me, you will live again without me" he said with a pained face...

"How will i? You have to come back to me. I cannot handle everything alone" i said while my heart is in

my mouth with the fear of losing the only backbone i have in my life.

"You will find someone after me who will love you more than me..." He said while i shake my head

vigorously with a no...

How could he say like this? When we worked on our relationship so much.

"I don't need anyone else but you...i..i lo-" i tried to say my feelings to him but he coughed hard only to

vomit a big amount of blood.

My eyes widened and fear engulfed me... fear of losing him.

"Mam you need to go out" nurse said pushing me out of the OT.

I turned back last time to see Avi with blood on his lips but smilingly widely at me.

Amidst pain, he was trying hard to be strong for me, for our family... but somehow, at that moment, i

accepted that he was drowning.

But I never knew that this is the last time i am seeing his eyes open.

His smiling face was the last memory i have in my mind.

"Just accept the blessing bestowed upon you by god... Don't regret on anything and move on happily in

your life. This is the last wish of your Avi..."

My eyes flung open and i came to face the darkness around me.

Where am i? Was not i in the car last time? Am i dreaming? Where is Kabir? Why the hell this room is

so dark?

I felt that i was lying on the couch.

"Kabir????" I shouted his name only to hear silence around me.

I am kind of scared and angry at him. How could he leave me alone here?

I don't even remember when did i went into heavy sleep that i was not even aware when Kabir picked

me here and placed me on couch.

Ofcourse he picked me in his arms unless i sleep walked which I highly doubt.

I searched for my phone which i got easily on my side.

It showed the time 11:53.

And i turned on the flash light of the phone only to see a different room i never have been.

Till now i was thinking i am in our room. I panicked more seeing the new surroundings.

I looked around only to see the room empty.

Where is kabir? Oh god!!! I will die with the panic attack.

I looked at the moonlight coming from behind the curtain. I walked there and side the curtains only to

see a big terrace behind the sliding door.

I come out of the room and was looking around in awe. Even in moonlight, i can spot the swing and the

two wooden chairs.

It was a beautiful view even in moonlight.

Suddenly i felt some movement behind me and turned around only to see the glow board lightning.

"Happy Birthday love" Kabir snuggled his arms around my waist from behind while whispering it in my

ears.

Even i didn't remember it is my birthday today. I have stopped Celebrating it from last few years. So, i

kind of forget about it...

"Wish you a very happy birthday. I wish god bless you with all the happiness in this world. But mind

your happiness will start from me only love and about end there will not be any..." he said kissing my

cheeks in the process.

I giggled and closed my eyes savouring the moment. What a unique way to wish!!!

"Thank you soo much Kabir" i said turning around in his arms.

Even in the moonlight i can see his face as charming as handsome as it can be.

"I want proper thank you from you but first let's cut the cake" he said with a wink.

I blushed and my face must be beetroot by now.

"There is a cake too?" I asked him.

"Ofcourse, yes" he said hushing me to the swing...

"Kabir, this is so beautiful. Whose house is this? And when did you planned all this? And everyone

must be waiting for us at home..." I started my questions in one breath.

"Calm down love" he said placing the beautiful cake in front of me on a round table.

"For your questions, this is our house. I rarely visit this but whenever I want to be alone, you will find

me here... Nobody would be waiting, as I told them we are not coming tonight..." He said while i

widened my eyes.

"What they must be thinking Kabir? How could you do this? And who will handle aashi?" I asked him

feeling embarrassed...

"They must be thinking that a couple needs some alone time and don't worry amaya will handle her.

Now don't waste time it's already 12:10..." He said while i nod my head.

I cut the heart shaped chocolate cake and hold the piece to his mouth.

He took the piece from my hand and directed it towards mine.

I take a bite happily. And it didn't take a second for him to capture my lips.

I hissed when he bit my lower lip and invaded my mouth to take a full control over it.

Our tongue dancing and mingling eachother. My hands reached to hold his shirt to not lose the grip.

We stopped the kiss when i felt water drops on me. I opened my eyes only to see god showering his

blessings on us in the form of rain.

We immediately went inside to save us from rain. I don't have a very good memory of rain...But today it

doesn't bother me much!!!

This time, room was not dark, instead lit up with a dim light.

"It was the best strawberry cake i have ever tasted..." He commented.

"Agreed" i said with a smile but then i thought-was not it chocolate flavour?

And when i saw his playful smile, I realised that he didn't even tasted the cake except for the one on

my lips.

"Kabirrr..." I whined.

"Payalll" he teased me.

"I am tired...and how will i sleep in this heavy dress? It's all your mistake..." I said changing the topic.

"You can always sleep in your birth suit" he said with a wink.

I only gave him my glare. I regret to change the topic.

"Sweetheart, don't stare me like you will eat me. Though you can eat me anytime, i am all yours..." He

paused making me shocked.

This man and his twisted words always go to that thing only.

"Anyway, we have clothes. Why don't you check your bag, amu helped me to pack yours" he said

making me relaxed.

At least I won't have to sleep in these clothes.

"Ok, then I'll take a shower first..." I said walking towards the bathroom.

I take a bath and wrapped myself in a towel. Once i checked the bag, my eyes widened.

I should have known it. This girl!!!

Though it is much more decent than any revealing nighty. I had no choice but to wear this.

I walk out of the bathroom to see Kabir roaming from left to right mumbling something.

I can see he has already took a shower, maybe in other bathroom.

I suddenly started feeling nervous. I am thinking how to confess my feelings to him.

"Ka...kabir" i called him.

He stopped in his track and glanced me. And his eyes never stopped roaming from up and down until i

stepped in front of him.

I started feeling more nervous by the looks he is giving me.
